Spicy Message

STAR LETTERS FROM READERS

December 19, 1998

I AM writing to express my disapproval of the sexual discrimination that takes place each year during the gingerbread-baking season. There are gingerbread men but no gingerbread women. This outrage is made even worse because the prototype of the gingerbread man is a gross neanderthaloid.

To counter this macho-man policy, I have created my version of the gingerbread woman. To ensure that there is no doubt as to the gender of my spicy creation, she is wearing a bikini bathing suit. I hope that others who feel as I do about this sexual discrimination will open their oven doors and create their own version of the gingerbread woman.

Only other doughty followers who believe as I do can right this wrong.
